Some banks lend money to business owners under certain conditions; conditions that are hard to meet and may make you rethink whether or not getting a bank loan is really worth it. A merchant cash advance offers few requirements and restrictions, making it an easy and virtually care-free way to acquire money to finance your business.
If you are contemplating seeking business financing, but are still not sure which route you would like to take, read the following list of benefits of a merchant cash advance. It just might make your decision a little easier.
You can use it however you choose
Institutions such as banks, credit unions, and private lenders may only allow borrowers to use lent funds for certain purposes. However, most merchant cash advance lenders impose no restrictions on how the funds can be used. This leaves the decision making process completely up to the borrower.
You don’t feel the payback
Merchant cash advances do not have to be repaid via fixed monthly payments, making them less difficult and less time consuming for the business owner. Merchant cash advance repayments are made via a small percentage from a business’ daily credit card sales. Therefore when the business’ sales decrease, the merchant cash advance payments decrease accordingly.
You can get it renewed
Many merchant cash advance lenders will allow borrowers to renew their merchant cash advance once a certain percentage of the advance has been paid. A specialist will review your account, taking into consideration your business’ most recent monthly credit card sales, and your remaining merchant cash advance balance. You will be provided with a new quote and your new merchant cash advance can be funded within an even shorter period of time than the initial advance. All of this can be done without requiring any additional applications!
Your credit score won’t be affected
Applying for a merchant cash advance will not have any affect on your credit score. Likewise, defaulting on a merchant cash advance will also have no affect on your credit score. Still, the merchant cash advance repayment process makes defaulting on the loan a very rare case.
You don’t need collateral or a great credit score
Since the individual borrower is not held responsible for the repayment of a merchant cash advance, he/she also does not need to have a great credit score to qualify. A merchant cash advance lender should also never ask you to put up collateral. Your personal property is safe when you receive a merchant cash advance.
